Hi, Danny,

*NOW* it looks like an 11-year-old's site... :-(

Why a meaningless portal page?

Why black? Why invisible blue links on the black background?

On loading the real first page, there's a JavaScript error:
Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method
Location.toString

I can't imagine the artwork matches Runescape. The little green ivy
leaves in the corners certainly don't seem to belong.

The flash banner looks like it's, um, borrowed from somebody else's
corporate site. Is that guy on the phone supposed to be a Runescape player?

You have no need to use XHTML and shouldn't try. Stick with HTML.
My browser and cursor are having trouble getting along when your page is
loaded. Something weird is going on somewhere.

The HTML is bad both on the "splash" page (nasty Microsoft crud) and on
the template pages (table layouts with meaningless image and class names).

It looks like you picked up a template somewhere (which doesn't really
match your site's needs). I think you'd be better off starting from
scratch; you'd learn more, and you could make the site look better.

The two links to "Online Form" are special. Are people supposed to just
type in their passwords there? The pages don't say what the forms are
*for*. The forms need some more testing and debugging.

I hope you have fun and learn a lot, but since you wanted feedback, I
hope you can accept and understand that the site is not as good-looking
as it could be. I think I actually liked the other version better!

HTH
